I've a Slime dual compressor that ends in a Schrader type female valve that screws over the tire valve stem. I need to be able to hook that to a standard "truckers air chuck" (long handled, dual head) to reach my inner dually tires.

I've checked with several auto stores and hardware stores and they didn't have anything. I've looked online and didn't turn anything up. Can anyone give me some pointers to what fitting I need to make it work?

thanks

If you cut the hose about 1' long and then put a male end on it and a female end on the hose so you can plug it in to use it.
Then you can just buy the trucker end at auto parts store or even Walmart and put male end on it.

I worked on trucks and Semi's for over 30 years. I kept an assortment of tire inflators in my tool box including a couple trucker type inflators that I bent to fit hard to reach valves on duals.

cut that useless bicycle pump fitting off and put this on the end of the hose.

or replace the stock hose with a new one with a normal end on it.

I was hoping to find a fitting so I had metal to metal rather a "barbed w/ plumbers clamp" . The fitting which is fixed to the pump is the same small type.

There are couplers with a collar you thread over the outside of the hose then thread the coupler inside the hose which eliminates the need for hose clamps. I purchased several a few years ago & they work well. (I will try to remember to get the information from my shop when I get home this evening.)

Another option is to go to a welding supply store & have them crimp on a 1/4" or 3/8" threaded fitting to connect a coupler to.

GREAT! TBN pulls thru again! I think that or some of the others on the page will do what I want.

That "air intake valve" shown in the previous post is part of a gas test gauge. You can get the gas test gauge at a hardware store and just remove that fitting.
